KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is an open-source virtualization technology based on the Linux kernel. It allows the Linux kernel itself to function as a Type 1 (bare-metal) hypervisor. This means that a physical server can run multiple isolated virtual environments, or virtual machines (VMs), simultaneously. Each VM has its own virtualized hardware (CPU, memory, disk, […]

Deploying AI models in ONNX (Open Neural Network Exchange) format is a key technique for enabling real-time interactive experiences on the web. This guide, centered around the Transformers.js library and the DeepSeek-R1 model, provides a detailed, step-by-step walkthrough on the DC-ROMA RISC-V AI PC — from environment setup to front-end interaction. 1. Environment Setup Device […]

GNU Guix is a functional package manager and a declarative GNU/Linux distribution (Guix System). Inspired by Nix, it is built around the Scheme language (via Guile) and emphasizes: We have successfully validated that GNU Guix runs on the DC-ROMA RISC-V AI PC, and the following sections provide an overview and practical usage examples. Command Function […]

Gemma 3 is Google’s next-generation open-source large language model. The 4B parameter version strikes a good balance between performance and resource consumption, making it well-suited for running on local devices. This article demonstrates how to deploy and run the Gemma 3 (4B) model on the DC-ROMA RISC-V AI PC using the Ollama platform, enabling an […]

In this post, all the pre-installed software packages mentioned (such as gcc, python3, make, i2c-tools, etc.) are carefully compiled and optimized by the DeepComputing team to fit the RISC-V architecture platform (e.g., Ubuntu Noble for RISC-V). These tools not only provide a stable foundation for development but are also deeply tuned for performance and compatibility, […]

Swift is an exciting Open Source programming language developed by Apple. Swift on RISC-V is all about getting Swift onto RISC-V devices. This can be anything from small developer boards and IOT devices to high-performance cloud servers and PCs. I am Neil Jones, the engineer responsible for the porting of Swift to RISC-V and the […]
